OK, here is a text effect I came up with yesterday while making some crappy design and since it turned out pretty nice, I decided to make a tut about it. So, we will be making this nice oily text:

So, start off by making a new canvas, and fill it with a dark background colour, we used black.

type the word u like… we used customized GauFont PopMagic.

go to layer >> layer styles >> blending options, and set the following settings:

  • Inner Shadow

  • Inner Glow

and also…

  • Bevel and Emboss

  • Contour Line Inside

  • Contour

    I could not get the shiny effect either but did have fun… missing the oily part :-)
    Could be something to do with the layer styles settings I suppose.

  11. Hello foreign friends,

    There is no word in the English language as ‘shinny’ . There is however ‘shiny’ pronounced ‘shy-knee’. It means to shine. Good-day.

    Hi – I have a general question regarding test effects – what is the general rule for print – Do text effects print well or there are some guidelines to follow?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop version does not matter as you just apply the settings, nothing else needed.
